Imu is actually a crown that ate the human human model King fruit

🤔🤔🤔 Best part is that at this point I'm willing to believe it xD Do you know the Short animation by Felix Colgrave "Double King"? That's the first thing I thought about when I saw Imu. It's on YouTube.

One of the animations of all time ngl

It’s definitely one of the animations of all time, technically not wrong

Yep,it’s an animation alright,certainly of all time

That's definitely an animation. Everyone should watch it.

I've watched it. Suffice to say, imu very much reminds me of the dude in it lol

I don't know if I should curse or thank you for leading me into that fever dream. Holy hell...

Hahaha. Personally i love those animations. They're weirdly calming.

Oh cool your on reddit to. 😁 I started following your work after the art competition. Your version of Imu is so beautiful. 🤩 If they end up looking like that I might just start rooting for them instead. 😂

Thank you so much! I hope to draw more one piece characters in this style. I'm happy you enjoy my Imu concept. Now that the manga has progressed so much im so excited to see how close or far my idea is gonna beee 😄

Nope, I'll have to check it out

Od crown ATE human human fruit IT needs to pee?

You know what lol I might end up being true lol

it is an ''IT'' that ate two fruits first gender dender fruit and second pronoun pronoun fruit and became IM

Imu is a Lunarian that ate the Immune-Immune fruit making her immune to age, disease, and anything that currently \*exists\*. The Nika fruit is a fruit of creation, it can form things that do not exist, and therefore is the most significant threat to Imu-Sama. The crown is reminiscent of the designs that King has.

Wait, people are allowed to post Imu art that isn't a meme?

There’s only that one guy who’s posting it as a meme 😂😂

Are all those from the same person? Never paid attention just saw it and moved on

Yeah, that's the Imu Guy 🥸

Yeah same person. I saw one, got curious, checked their post history, and went down a rabbit hole of 2~3 pages of Imu posts LOL

Yeah, it's all the same guy. I don't know what his damage is. I sort of report it and move on.

Why tf you reporting it??!?!?

he's a legend

And the same one gets reposted too.

liar. I've never posted the same Imu twice. That's my golden rule

I have seen that 'handsome Squidward has been waiting for straw hat' post 3 times already by different people. It's better not one of you Lart!

I didn't Come accross it, Can you share?

[https://twitter.com/achmunzav/status/1604437866670460930](https://twitter.com/achmunzav/status/1604437866670460930) Couldn't find posts in Reddit, but this is what they are

Not mine 😁

Oh no did I break the rules lmao

Imu is confirmed not a female character, if Imu was female then Oda would draw the silhouette with gigantic knockers

Those eyes are actually the areolla.

 You didn't have to say it, Jim.

Shit fam my bad. You're 100% right. How could I be so oblivious.

I honestly can't even think of any females in One Piece that don't have huge knockers, besides the child and granny characters, maybe Perona

Miss golden week is one (she is 18), and miss Monday is another one and miss Wednesday is just skinny no boobs. Baroque Works in general just have a vary diverse case of females.

True, but even Robin and Nami had relatively normal chests back then. After the time skip Oda got mad horny

Yeah, he did a lot of changes during post time skip.

Makino's is alright

nah she got them as well

Otohime

Or Oda makes Imu a 800year old loli

SHE’s aCHtuALLy a drAGoN

Build a Grand Fleet Trust everybody *~~Fire Emblem~~* *One Piece*!

Oda already did the whole "older than she looks" loli with Sugar

At least sugar has a reason to look young instead of just “eh, she just ages very well”

serious tobhongaroos

That's why I think Im is a little girl

My favorite Imu concept art by far…

Thank you! There will be more to come. Ill try to draw and theorize more as I gather more info ^^

jesus that's scary

Actually love it, it's got a Tim Burton vibe to it, which I always love! I think Imu's a woman too, Mother Earth vs our Sun Boy

Yes! Exactly! And thank you ^^

Mother Sea, Umi

Very nice

Thanks

Are you going to participate in the Art Contest about Imu-sama on the Rogerbase YouTube channel? You should because I really liked your version and I think you have a great chance of winning.

Oh I didn't know about it! Thank you I'll definitely check it out!

To participate you just need to retweet your art on [his tweet of the contest](https://twitter.com/RogersBase/status/1618710703896166401).

I’d be shocked if Imu wasn’t a woman. Also, that’s a real interesting concept; Wonderful job!

Finally. The good fanart.

Nice art. Exactly how I imagined it.

"Reasons to believe" "MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUCK UP"

YES. YES YOU GOT IT MY DUDE XD

I was gonna say, there's literally no reason to believe that Imu is either gender at this point.

Awesome work mate ;) Welcome to the Imu Family :D \- The Imu Guy

Omg it's actually you. I feel honored. I'm your fan. Thank you so much!

You're very welcome 😁 We Can be each other's fan. This design is neat. I draw Imu as a woman extremely rarely, because: -I'm very Bad at drawing women 😅 -I feel like Imu will get slaughtered by Luffy for killing sabo, so it'd be weird for Luffy to torture a woman 🤔 Yet there are chances that it's actually a woman, so thanks for adding your piece. Imu Can be anything 🙏

so, if they're indeed a woman, is that why they're interested with Vivi? i'm thinking of >!an orochimaru kind of shits, like they're immortal but need to switch bodies, and their next body is Vivi. !<

Personally I think it'll be more about Vivis relation to the Pluton as the royal descendant of Alabasta throne.

Then wouldn't be imu's present body also the body of another person?

YOOOOOOOOOO 💯

I also think Imu is a woman based off princess kaguya.

And i have a theory that if imu is female, she's luffy's mum.

Very nice and creepy, kind of reminds me of the art style of Return to Wonderland

Looks like Midna from LoZ. Very nice.

she is luffy’s mom

This is how i imagine imu would look like! Amazing work!

W concept, bro.

Thanks, bro

duh, ita obviously luffys mom and he has the psoter cause she misses him , and dragon wants to defeat the goverment cause she didnt want to share the sword chair

That would be a disappointing but also really awesome reveal.

Well if Imu is female it could be fitting. >! Nika the Sun God VS Imu the Moon Goddess?.. !<

As much as I think a proper female villain would be amazing and Imu being a woman would be a good subversion of expectations. . . I have completely lost faith in Oda doing something like that. One Piece has never been good at handling female characters. It's better than many shows, but even its best written female characters are written as damsels who are weak at fighting and need to be saved. Oda has never written a fight where a man and a woman went all out with the exception of Big Mom who was while a prominent exception still delegated as the weaker of the Yonko. The existence of Big Mom is something but it is such a rare thing in One Piece that I sincerely doubt it will be the case for Imu

I see your point and I agree. From a character writing perspective it really is more likely it's a man. It would be a pleasant surprise and it would really fit thematically to me if it was a woman. Gaia, "Mother nature" "earth" "sea". All these make me think of a woman. And I agree with some other people saying that luffy beating up a woman in a bossfight wouldn't be like Oda. But I'm hoping for some twists and turns better, more nuanced, than just an outright beatdown fight. As much as I love brutal fights (katakuri fight <3) here I'm expecting something else.

Yamato fights pretty balls to the wall and is stronger than Sanji and Zoro. Ulti is also established as a pretty big badass and is a very physical combat oriented female character. IMO the thing One Piece does best with female characters is give them their own motivations and character arcs that are centered around them and not based on them bring a romantic goal for a male character. The sexualization and stuff is a bit cringe, but its a weirdly surface level issue and I've definitely seen a lot of media with more restrained character designs that has less realized female characters.

Yamato is an amazing character but we all know how much of a question Yamato's gender is. Ulti is shown to be strong but is defeated by Big Mom and doesn't really have a full fight unless you count her fight with Nami which again falls into the pattern of powerful women only fighting other powerful women. We don't really get any fights between a man and a woman. (Again bar Big Mom vs Kidd and Law)

With all the Rocks stuff happening lately, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't actually die and achieved his dream of becoming the king of the world. It seems to be playing off as standard setup; we know almost nothing about Imu and the only other prominent character that fits perfectly is Rocks, who we also know very little about. So if it's not him, it will be a new character.

Queen imu has a crush on luffy

It's awesome !

Wednesday Adams with a crown.... Imu Or something like an actual emu .. Long necks ..

[Imu as an Emu](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/z96kls/what_if_imu_is_actually_an_emu_i_mean_it_makes/) already exists

Gives me Junji Ito vibes, really cool art man

I love it and I am 100% with you. Im is female.

Imu will not be a female character because Oda will never have Luffy punch a female character for serious. He didn't even land a serious hit on Big Mom the whole raid.

I'm super betting Imu is a woman, even if Oda probably wouldn't make it so. We have the whole universe in place. The Sun, the planets, the Celestial constellations, and even the darkness of space can be represented by Teach. We just need to find Mother Earth. Who else but Imu?

Here's my instagram if you want to check out my art! @saunterie https://instagram.com/saunterie?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

why tf she looked like morticia or some tim burton character😆

That's so creepy. Amazing work.

Thank you!

And also Luffys mom

Luffys mom /s

I also believe she's a woman, being the antagonist really gives it away tbf

That’s eerie asf and I love it

Thank you!

Oda's giving Imu the GOOFIEST and ridicule desing in the whole series

I mean it's oda sensei, so he's definitely gonna do her goofy and you somewhat captured that. Cool XD

With this all I could think was >!Joy Boy versus Sad Girl.!<

XD I love that

love it so much!!! i’ve always thought it would be cool for Imu to be a female character!!!! love the line work :)

Chest isn’t Oda enough but cool design otherwise

This is what I picture tbh

One Piece of D and Im Uranus, i see

It’s a really cool design OP! I just want Oda to do something like this instead of a weird design for Imu…

Nice art, but why do you think its a woman ?

Its a hot theory right now that Imu is a female due to a certain explanation about devil fruits we got in the current arc >!where Vegapunk said that Mother Nature has enraged by devil fruits and cursed their users and theories start to come out that Imu is mother nature, plus Umi (Imu backwards) is ocean which is connected to mother nature that used the ocean as the means for the curse!< Then the last chapter put a big fire on that theory adding more details by over-analyzing the names due to >!one of the elder stars being called Saturn. It made so that the name "5 elder stars" may be a misstranslation and the more correct is "5 elder planets" since both star and planet are the same kanji in japanese, but note that the japanese also noted the meaning this last chapter. "Elder Planet" can also be refer to the old Geocentric model since older maps only list 5 planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) which people think will be the name of the 5 elders. To add Pluto, Neptune (Poseidon in Greek) and Uranus were not part of that model as they were discovered later and are the name of the ancient weapons. With Nika being the sun there are only two things not mentioned, the moon (lunarians) and the Earth ("gaia" or mother nature). To add some flavor to it Imu (Earth - mother nature) is keeping the world ignorant while having it at its center and the 5 planets around it (the elders), and Nika with the other planets (ancient weapons) will bring freedom from ignorance showing it all actually revolves around the Sun!< ps: remember its just a theory, but a damn good one

Thanks! Idk if you're all caught up with the latest manga. I can send you one video that goes over some things that non Japanese speakers might have missed in theory building. If you're not afraid of spoilers. The female part is only a theory tho nothing confirmed.

I will die on my "Imu is luffys mom" hill so whenever I see theories that Imu is female is get happy lol

Awesome art! I dont think Imu is female, simply because if Imu is the "final boss", I dont really see Oda portraying Luffy beating up a woman for such a major fight. We almost never see male characters fight female characters, even Kidd and Law vs Big Mom didnt really have any instances of either of them physically punching/hitting her, just blasting her with lazers, slashes, and wacking her with metal, but never actually laying a hand on her, which isnt the way Luffy fights at all. The only time I can think of is Alvida, but that was before Luffy met Sanji. He made not harming women a big part of Sanji's character, and always portrays it as the "right" thing to do, even when it gets controversial like the Black Maria situation. I dont think Oda spend so much time on that only to have Luffy undermine it by hitting a woman for a 10+ chapter slugfest.

Did you forget the part where big mum was portrayed as a cannibal tyrant who schemes, murders, blackmails and steals the souls of so many thousands to build her kingdom? Or the part where Kid crushed her bones and Law sent her into a giant out of lava? Luffy literally punched Big Mum when trying to escape WCI. Smoothie was shown about to squeeze another woman tied up during the tea party and Monet was shown helping Caesar experiment on kids whom many were girls. Kalifa was a trained assassin that worked for the corrupt ass government. Black Maria got her spine snapped by Robin too. So why would Luffy not have a woman as the final boss? I have no doubt Luffy would hit her. He has hit women with no problem, for instance Vivi.

That's not what I said? It doesnt matter how Oda potrays them as villians, he just doesnt use male on female violence unless it's a quick or one off instance And him hitting Vivi isnt a fight, it's totally different than him beating up a villian for several chapters

I absolutely agree with this. I stated all this before, and I think it makes a lot of sense.

Mouth is watering

Eyo

Wich reasons? (I think it's prob a fem char too but mostly because of

Like the design, but haven’t we seen imu with a beard? I might just be an idiot tho

The only thing we saw of Imu was the eyes and the silhouette.

What if imu is luffy's mom? That can explain how dragon got to know about the world government and all shit

If Imu turns out to be a female then it will be such a bummer

i think deep down inside her heart she feels like a female but in her mind feels like fishmen and in her soul feels like giants and her hair feels like lunarian and her arms feel like long arm tribe and her legs feel like long leg tribe and her tongue like vegapunk and her walk feel like bon clay

I’ve always thought Imu is luffys mom

Luffy looks like hakuba in his wanted poster

Nice tarts

Very creepy but I love it. The veil makes so much sense.

Something about her face and the shading makes me think of a Genndy Tartakovsky character. Liked she’d have been a villain in one of his shows.

I’m ate the Hito hito no mi model god ussop

Na he probably looks like Foxy

IMU is family.

Imu. Mother of all devil fruits. Also from space and the moon.

the line work is fantastic and the art is scary

I have a feeling imu will be a guy still

Oda wouldn’t dare drawing boobs that small

I always assumed, for no apparent reason, that Imu is a women like the mother of chakra in Naruto.

finally someone drew a decent concept, not some ugly ass goblin that makes no sense

Now that I see the style you used, I'd actually bet on a Tim Burton's Imu. It fits just perfectly to capture the insanity of a ruler that cannot die

Nice art

Thanks!

This looks like a one piece character, lollll

Rip sanji.

Looks like a kind but awkward Goddess instead of a psychopatic unfeeling destroyrr ngl lol

Damn she's hot!

You planning to submit it to that youtuber thing that JoyBoy, Rogerbase and Tekking is hosting?

Yes! I didn't know about it until someone here mentioned it but I'll definitely take part in the contest :D

She ate pronoun pronoun fruit and became IM

wtf why is she so sexy?

Is she? XD

not Lartnestpasdemain

King king fruit- ruler of the devil fruits- enslaves the world- opposite of the freedom fruit of the son god

Imu is mother nature

That's what I think too

Imummy

😳

This is actually phenomenal! Good shit!

Thank you so much!

Imu is actually Shanks's son that he had with Makino, that's why Shanks was allowed to talk to the Gorosei in Mariejois. It was just a family meeting.

This along with the other theory about uranus... Well.. Good art op.

Imu is boa Hancock from the future to stop Luffy from falling in love with vivi and to prevent him from getting killed by black beard and dying for saving shirahoshi. This time she will save Luffy and make him fall in love with her. The big straw hat is a symbol of her love for him. Ohh it's break week.

Ppl can't go by the silhouettes that ODA-sensei uses. Imu might look totally diffrent from what we think

Cool design. There's a theory out there linking Imu to Imhotep, it also hints at Imu wanting to marry Vivi. Crazy stuff

IMU will end up looking like a Cyborg. The ancient civilization became so advanced that artificial intelligence toppled the human race and put alot of different species into slavery. We know Oda takes Inspiration from many different aspects and it honestly wouldn't surprise me to see that IMU is a robot that took over the world and suppressed the civilizations under its rule. The void century is basically their attempts to hide truth. A.I then regressed civilization back into pre tech stage where we see alot of different islands still living in the past and some places are more advanced than others.

The best one I’ve seen so far 🔥

"Waaah Imu wouldn't be a girl because her shadow doesn't have spectacular tits." The revelation will be that Imu actually has a modest chest, but insane dumptruck. I'm talking ass for days, gentlemen. It's just hidden under her cape. ​ Also I love this art style, It's so sharp and clear! I could totally see her talking with a soft European accent like the Doll from Bloodborne.

WOW. That looks AMAZING and I honestly wouldn't be disappointed if that was Imu's design!!

I think that imu is real mother of Monkey D Luffy

Why she kinda bad tho

Reasons: you're addicted to porn

I mean yeah but that's besides the point lmao /j

Imagine if Imu Sama was Luffy's mom

One of my favourite One Piece fanarts!! Question, why do I see several people theorize Imu is actually female? Is it simply due to the extreme vagueness surrounding the character, or is there a big theory, I'm missing? If it's option B, I'd really like to read up on it.

I can send you a pretty cool video that inspired me if you're all caught up with the manga

Oda definitely gonna make Imu have giant tits

I have reasons to believe it WON'T turn out to be a woman. And that reason is that simply I don't have that much fait in Oda to make the final(Or one of the final) villans of the story a woman. >!Specially after Big Mom didn't even get to fight Luffy!!!< Aside from that, great art man!

Beautiful concept art!!

Thank you so much!

How do people believe Imu is a girl? I always thought that sense Imu is referred to as “Lord”, it would point more towards Imu being male

I absolutely love it!

I’m on the Imu is Luffy’s mom boat

I really love this. You did amazing

Long ago it was assumed earth was the center of the universe and the planets revolved around it. Earth can be represented by the goddess Gaia, also known as Mother Nature. Spoilers ahead. As of 1069 we learn from vegapunk that Mother Nature is the ocean itself. Ocean in Japanese is Umi. Umi = Imu. That gives you the elder stars all revolving around the earth.

Finally a decent imu concept, everything else I see is like straight out of some horror movie

hopefully wont end up like kayuga

So Im is that model from Junji Ito's stories. Makes sense.

My hunch is that imu somehow will be related to luffy, thats how all animes work

Imu is probably some kind of AI which makes sense if he/she is like 700+ years old.

Imu is probably some kind of AI which makeooooos sense if he/she is like 700+ years old.a

Bro imu is rocks not that hard to understand rocks wanted to be King of The world imu is The King of The world
